I fish tournaments every now and then not as much as I used to and I practice catch and release. But sometimes I will keep some to eat. No big ones but some smaller ones I do keep to eat I don't see the harm in keep some to eat..and who ever is gutting fish just to see what they are feeding on just to try and win is just plain wrong and should be stopped. Like some one else said with all the advancement in fishing and they have to kill a fish for some type of advantage and they are the ones who are complaining about throwing everything you catch back. These people should be gutted to bleed their stupidity out of their body. Sorry for the harsh words but that's how I feel about people who gut fish for no good reason at all.
